What’s Under Our Pool Patios
Coping
Coping is the term used to identify the material used to cap the pool edge or shell wall. Besides simply being necessary, the coping provides an opportunity for a decorative accent, which can greatly enhance the appearance of the pool, steps or walls.
The Cambridge Shapes are specially designed for specific structural, landscape and pavement applications and hardscape solutions such as steps, pool coping, edging and curbs, facing and permeable pavements.
Options we recommend are:
Cambridge Crusader 12×24 Cap
6 x 12 Bullnose
Ledgestone Cap with Armortec
Subbase Preparation
Pouring Concrete
Once compaction is complete and the forms are set, we proceed to pour the concrete. Pouring concrete is a meticulous process. We need to ensure that all the forms are set at the correct heights, the area is clear of any obstacles that could affect productivity, and tarps are placed to prevent concrete splatter. After pouring and screeding the concrete, we must wait for it to cure. Once it has cured enough to walk on without being deformed, we can continue working. Concrete cures into a solid structure, so if it’s not done correctly, removing it would be a major hassle. Concrete is always recommended around new pools, especially since the chance of ground settling is higher in these areas.
Coping, Sand & Pavers
Next, we install your chosen coping. Different types of coping and pools require different installation techniques. For example, bullnose coping can be glued to concrete, but for steel wall pools, we may need to install wire lath to the coping and then set the bullnose in concrete. Depending on the situation, you may notice a concrete joint. Although it might seem complicated at first, our experienced pool and patio contractors will guide you through every step, ensuring precision and quality.
Before installing the pavers, we add a fine sand bedding layer to create a base for the pavers. Once everything is squared and the pavers are laid, we can cut inlays and add any borders. A concrete edge is applied to the exposed perimeter, followed by a layer of polymeric sand. Keep in mind, during the process of creating a beautiful paver project, things can look messy before they look great. The construction process may leave dust and debris in the pool, but it’s nothing that your pool maintenance company can’t clean up. In the end, you’ll have a stunning pool patio that enhances your outdoor space. If you’re looking for pool patio ideas, we provide plenty of inspiration and professional guidance.

My garage cement floor had been damaged by a tree root that was uplifting it. I called and spoke with Max and he came out to give me an estimate and explained what the job in detail would consist of. I was reassured by the break down of the job description and Max and his team came out once the weather permitted. The guys replaced my cement floor and it was done professionally and very neat and clean. I would most definitely hire them again for future projectsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mike Secor2023-06-22Looking to transform your backyard? Max Ruiz and his team at Exteriors Designs LLC are the experts to call! They blend professionalism, expertise, and commitment seamlessly to deliver top-notch results. My house is smack-dab in the middle of a busy city, with narrow streets and alleyways - a real headache for any renovation job. But Max and his team? They worked wonders. They didn't let the lack of space for heavy machines slow them down. Instead, they tackled everything by hand, making the challenging situation look like a breeze. Their skills really shone through when they laid down geotextile fabric and crushed gravel, leveling out my yard and setting the stage for what was to come. They added paving stones, which instantly gave my yard an inviting and cool vibe. But they didn't stop there. They built a cozy gazebo - my new favorite hangout spot. Plus, they added a practical, yet good-looking, retaining wall at the back of my yard. What stuck with me was Max's dedication. When a minor issue popped up post-construction, he personally came back to sort it out. He really goes the extra mile to ensure his clients are happy. To wrap it up, Max Ruiz and his team at Exteriors Designs LLC are the go-to guys for any landscaping needs. They totally transformed my backyard, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. A huge shout-out to Max for turning my backyard into my own slice of paradise!
